"not
tied to any other personal identifiers" is a can of worms.
Email
resides on, potentially, a variety of servers on its way from sender to
recipient. Some are administered with sound security practice, many are
not. It is reasonable to expect some of them to be hacked, and
I would say no, because there are places on the Internet, etc. where you
may be able to connect the SSN to a person's identity.
